Slime Is Not The Only Ingredient

You Might Already Be Using Slime

Some products proudly boast snail or escargot in their name, while others simply list it as one of their many ingredients. It is most commonly found in facial serums and moisturizing creams, face mask sheets, bar soap, and anti-aging body lotion. It’s a very popular in Korean skincare and beauty products.

But Why Slime?

For starters, slime is between 92 to 98 percent water. The remaining composition consists of naturally occurring compounds:

UV protection

Fade scars, stretch marks, and age spots

Reduce inflammation

Contain and stimulate collagen and elastin

Heal and soothe acne, rosacea, and minor skin irritations

Hyaluronic acid

And don’t worry, the snails used for cosmetics are raised in controlled environments such as indoor snail farms—they aren’t just randomly collected from the forest.
